Isolines of planet radius versus mass, extracting cross-sections from our grid of models by holding other variables constant (top-right text box). Top (a): sensitivity to instellation (colour) and atmosphere mass fraction 𝑓𝑎 (line width, five values). Bottom (b): sensitivity to atmospheric metallicity log10 𝑍𝑎 (colour) and 𝑓𝑎 (line width, five values). For visualisation, only five sets of secondary variables (line widths) are shown. Dashed blue lines show airless cases with different core sizes (Zeng et al. 2019). -- astro-ph.EP)

Beyond The Mass-radius Plane: Integrated Radiative-convective And Interior Structure Simulations Of The Exoplanet Continuum

by Keith CowingApril 23, 2026April 23, 2026

Static structure models, which map mass-radius constraints to bulk planet composition, are frequently used to categorise exoplanets due to their computational efficiency and the high-level insight they offer into planetary […]
